# Non-automatic Weighing Instruments (Use for Trade) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: N.I.

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations revoke and replace the Non-automatic Weighing Instruments (EEC Requirements) (Use for Trade) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1992 as amended (“the 1992 Regulations”). In addition to minor and drafting amendments, the Regulations allow a Class IIII instrument to be used for trade for the purposes of weighing any material the disposal of which constitutes a landfill disposal and any commercial, household or industrial waste (regulation 4(5)).
In other respects these Regulations re-enact the 1992 Regulations.
The Regulations have been notified to the European Commission in draft pursuant to Directive 98/34/EC (O.J. No. L204, 21.7.1998, p. 37) as amended by Directive 98/48/EC (O.J. No. L217, 5.8.1998, p. 18) which lays down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations.
